Jeremy Kyle And The Type

[celeste]

I've seen it once or twice and I'm genuinly surprised to learn the people aren't actors, I just can't fathom why anyone would put themselves in the firing line like that

[Ingrid]

Someone I know was on it last year, five minutes of fame ? No he was once famous in his own right but has now lost everything due to drink.

Did he get any help despite the promises .................. no he ended up in hospital earlier thiis year and nearly died, has been through rehab and hopefully has his life back

[Barry]

i dont see how doing your laundry in public helps at all thats if the people are for real.?

it seams to me its all set to make him look like a good allround egg but he only stirs up the conflict rather than get to problem proper.

either of the couples or whoever is involved are all subject to his ranting.and if the dna tests are real what a waste of a doctors time when they could be doing it for better reasons than making jk,s program interesting ( noooooottt )

its ashame folk go on at all. but whos worse those on it orthose who go to watch it in the studio they need to get a life or a job.....

 

thats it rant over

I watched this show once...as a captive audience in the waiting room of a hospital. I couldn't believe the sort of people he had on, I thought they were only the product of Little England scriptwriters imagination...I must have led a sheltered life! I most certainly wouldn't never watch it from choice, and I can't understand either the people who watch, or the people who take part. Must confess I think the willing watchers are probably the sort who would have been watching eagerly as the guillotine came down, or the hangman's rope tightened! I think he must be some sort of a sadist to want to front this type of show.

I seem to be the minority & I certainly wouldn't be a guest myself but I think if you watched more than one show before slating him you'd find he does make some perceptive comments & they have produced guests / follow ups with good outcomes.

 

I can see how he might at times be considered patronising but I think his aim is more often to give a wake up call to somebody who usually needs it.

 

I've no idea how he came to be involved with such a show originally but he's apparently had his own / family issues over the years & has been doing it a long time on radio before starting this show so he must have had some success.

 

They also have a trained therapist with him on all shows together with the security team & though you get the odd guest (as the judge referred to) in 500+ shows is one head but that out of the "norm" in any walk of life?

 

I used to like Trisha too but haven't see it much since she went to Channel 5.

 

Whilst yes the Tv company obviously demands entertainment from their shows I don't think it's true that their shows can be compared with Jerry Springer - which is extreme - or that they are intentionally sadistic or disinterested in the guests situation.

From The Independent...

 

Kyle's own past ought well to make him a candidate for one of the sensationalist melodramas in which his show specialises. Things began conventionally enough, with an early career which included cleaning cars, stacking bananas and selling life assurance before landing a job in the sales department of the West Country local radio station Orchard FM. Having been told he had a good voice, he put together a tape and applied for on-air posts. He worked at Kent's Invicta FM before joining BRMB in Birmingham in 1997. Initially a disc jockey, he developed a late-night agony-uncle chat-show format, fielding live calls on relationship issues. This he developed into Jezza's Confessions which he then subsequently presented on Century FM, Virgin and Capital in London, where ITV lighted upon him.

 

It was at Birmingham that Kyle came across the woman who was to become his second wife, Carla Germaine. She had been the winner of the station's notorious blind-date "Two Strangers and a Wedding" contest which had ended with Carla, 23, a model, marrying Greg Cordell, 28, a recruitment consultant, after they had been matched by a judging panel including station managers, relationship counsellors and a pop astrologer.

 

The first time the groom laid eyes on the bride was when she lifted her veil at the ceremony. The two total strangers received a luxury wedding, honeymoon, apartment and use of a Ford Puma for a year. Eight days after the honeymoon the groom committed adultery with a dental nurse. Three months later the couple were divorced and the short-lived bride went on to marry Jezza Kyle.

 

Hmm. Does that make him an expert relationship counsellor?

Well we would love to go on jeremy kyle,A standing family joke as we never will.

Not really what you think but have four adopted children and we know they all have the same mother but they would now really like to know if they do have same fathers or not,Have so many options.

Mum keeps on changing her story and one dad would pops up every now again usually when he has a new lady friend and feels guilty.

They are all happy and content with us as their mum and dad but really like to know the truth of where they came from.

There is no way we could do this on our own,as so many people involved.

So can understand why some people do it,
